Something New Usder tie Sun Just
Secured BY Cofnn 4 Co.-An Instru.
ment That All Will Like to See.
Coffin & Co. began, this morning,
to use in their store a new contriv.
ance that will doubtless, ere long, be
found in every store where the guam.
tity of business transacted will Justify
it. This is "national cash register"
which accurately registers and indi.
Gates the amount of each sale made
during the day. The instrument is
somewhat sirailar, in appearance and
construction, to the type writing ma
chimes in common use, and was doubt
less suggested by them. 1t is usually
placed back of the counter, in plain
view, SO that each customer can see
bis purchase correctly registered.
All cash drawers excepting that in
the indicator are dispensed with.
Upon making a sale the salesman
presses = button of the Register,
which instantly produces six results,
to- wit:
l. Rings a bell.
2. Drops the indicator of the former
sale out of sight.
5. Raises into full view one or more
indicators, showing the amount of the
new sale.
4. Unlocks and throws open the
cash drawer.
S. Adds up the amount Of the sales
on wheels inside.
8. 1nsnres to the proprietor that
every cent is strictly accounted for.
When sale is made, the key or
keys representing the amount of the
sale is pressed. Say that a 6O.cent
sale has been made. The GO-cent
key has been pressed. This one mo-
ton adds the amount of the sale on
the wheel inside, rings an alarm bell,
raises the indicator in the glass open.
ing above, showing the amount of the
sale, and unlocks and throws open the
cash drawer.
This 6O-cent indicator remains up
in PLAIN view until the next sale is
made, when it disappears. and the in
dictator showing the amount of the
new sale appears.
ANY number of keys can be pressed
at once. Thus, if $1.24 is to be reg
istered, the 81, 2O.cent and AGENT
keys are pressed, and the indicator
above would show 1924.
At night, when taking off the total
amount of sales for the day, all that
is necessary is to add together the
amounts shown upon the different
wheels. A days sales of $500 can he
taken off in three minutes or less.
Coffin 4 Co. will be pleased to show
and explain the register to any one
wishing to examine it.

meDciDg TO.MOrrOW Night.

The ever popular little actress,
Katie Putnam, supported by ar ex-
cellent comedy company, will open a
three nights engagement at the The.

est audiences that have ever filled the
Theater, and insure the little star CON-
pensation for bringing her company

tage as were given by her in the
larger cities.

the Elf" a charming comedy written
especially for Miss Putnam, will be

clin'axes strong, and its dialogue brisk
and pleasing.

A Moon Which Rises In the West.

The two tiny satellites of Mars,
which were discovered by Professor
Asaph Hall in 1877, have diameters
of less than ten miles each, and are
the smallest celestial bodies known.
The outer one-12,0OO miles from the
planet-completes revolution in its
orbit in about thirty hours in a direc-
ton from west to east, and the inner
moon-about $500 miles from the
plan et-goes round in the same way
in about seven hours and a half.
Mars turns on its axis in 241 hours
from west to east. One moon there.
fore travels slower than Mars, and
rises for him in the east, while the
other outruns him and comes up in
the west.

slide, He Leisurely Digs Himself Out
UniHjured.

To THE EDITOR OF THE T1MRs:-
On the morning of the 18th instant,
Dan. Rriiley, owner of the Cyclops
mine, on Deer Creek, while on the
way to Bullion, was caught in a slide
while crossing Pelican Point, and oar
ried down the mountain to Wolverine
Pass-fally mile. The force of the
snow was so great that much timber
was also carried down. This proved
to be the salvation of Mr.. Kelley, for
when carried into the pass, which is a
deep chasm, the limbs and broken
timbers were thrown across it in such
manner as to form complete arch
thus keeping the weight of the snow
from crushing Mr.. Reilly, but leaving
him completely entombed, as though
encased in vacuum.
After taking an Inventory of him
self Mr.. Kelley found that, although
badly scared, he YEAS not otherwise
seriously hurt. Here was situation,
indeed! Buried, he knew not how
deep, with no one near: no means at
hand by which to extricate himself
from this horrible dilemma. Dan did
not despair, but went to work as
though to run crosscut, and with
badger-like instinct dug himself out.
putting in, as he said, the hardes,
half,shift of his life, besides the loss
OF two months growth OF finger. nails
Dan says he has no desire to join the
angels by the snowslide route.

Elmer Clark Attempts Suicide ut the
Pemitentiary.
At G:25 o'clock yesterday morning, FL
mer Clark, recently sentenced by Judge
Jacob to eight years confinement in the
Pententiary at Moundsvlle for the muir,
der of VIM. O'Ncal, at Elm Grove, on The
afternoon of March 25th last, made des-
perate attempt to commit suicide, which
may result fatally. The convicts were
being unlocked at the hour named to
90 to work, and the guard after
opening the Wheeling mans cell, passed
on to the next in order, when Clark dashed
open his cell door, and leaping out onto the
flooring in front of his cell, plunged head
foremost over the railing to the floor be-
low. Clark's cell is located in the fourth
tier, left, and the distance to the stone
flooring of the corridor is thirty-two feet.
The body of the desperate man struck this
floor with q horrible shock, and when help
arrived he was lifted up senseleSs and
bleeding. He was ut once conveyed to the
hospital, and DIR. Bruce was soon in at
tendance upon him. 1t was stated last
night that Clark's injuries were of n very
grave nature and that his recovery was a
matter of considerable doubt. An attempt
was made to keep the matter quiet, and
the meagre details above given were only
obtained with difficulty. Probably more
specific information of the nature of the
wounds received by Clark will he forth,
coming to-day.
